Ah, that leaves only one song then from this film to be posted. 🙂 I really like this film – have I mentioned that before? 😉

Btw, it’s not like Sitara Devi and M.Kumar don’t marry the peope they want to. In fact, they do. It’s Veena and Ashok Kumar whose dreams are shattered. They love each other – but circumstances result in Veena ending up marrying M. Kumar and Ashok Kumar marrying Sitara Devi. There’s a lot of goodness all around, even if Sitara Devi has a somewhat negative role.

There are slight variations in the two versions of this song. The film version starts with “Jal jaa jal jaa patange jalte jalte jal jaa” whereas the record version starts with “Jal jaa jal jaa patange hanste hanste jal jaa.”
